Michael Jordan’s federal antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR highlighted strong family ties within motorsports, as witnesses shared emotional connections to the sport. The case, which saw testimonies from figures like Denny Hamlin and Bob Jenkins, emphasized the familial legacy tied to teams and the sport itself, founded by Bill France Sr. NASCAR ultimately settled by agreeing to permanent charters for teams, a significant change in its revenue-sharing agreement. Hamlin expressed hope that the settlement would foster growth in the sport, reflecting the deep-rooted passion for NASCAR.
